Hermit (continued from page 1) chair in the one room with heat.” The rest of the store, Casterline says, was a little cold. Messenger taught him how to determine the value of books, and shared stories about his adven- tures in book buying. “He gave me the idea,” says Casterline. “He was the foundation. Going down there opened up a whole new world. [ saw more than what was assigned to me from a textbook.” Casterline advertises in the yellow pages as well as regional trade magazines. His customers, he says, are mostly readers rather than collectors. “People look for certain subjects,” he says. In addition to his stock, Casterline also runs searches for rare and out-of-print books. “Mostly I do it to help the custom- ers out. Ilike that part — finding things.” Before the popularity of the Internet, he would take out advertisements in specialty maga- zines like A.B. Bookman’s and Book Quote. Now, he searches book related web sites as well. The computer has made search- ing both better and worse. “I think it was easier before the com- puter. You could count on an item being there once you found it.” Now, books he finds online may have already been sold. Casterline charges $5 per search plus a percentage of the book's cost. His searches have taken him around the country and the world. One customer wanted a certain historical novel printed in Span- ish. Casterline found the title in Spain. “It'll take a couple of months to get here,” Casterline says with a smile. He says he felt good when he found that book. Casterline has a small on-line presence. His on-line store only has 300 to 400 titles available. “That’s not where I want to go though,” he says. His least favorite part of the job is buying from collectors. “Most of them are pleasant, but you run across (a difficult) one every once ina while.” His favorite part of the job, he says, is “going over the America's Best Pressed Steven's Town FE Steven's Town & Country Country Club Shopping Ctr. « 675-0468 Women who take pride in their appearance enjoy the special care of our drycleaning.

Casterline likes to deal more with readers than collectors. “There are not a lot of book collec- tors in the area,” he says. Casterline says he will expand his web site, and he may consider specializing in philosophy and lit- erature. He has also considered moving into a place with more space.
